Why does my tongue tingle?

A tingling tongue may be a symptoms of menopause. Vitamin deficiencies are also sometimes responsible for tingling of the tongue and lips, as are some foods. Ingesting foods that are too hot may burn the tongue and cause a tingling sensation. If this condition persists, see your doctor for further medical testing.

Your tongue tingles because somewhere between your brain and your tongue your nerves are being stimulated. There is a large and complex set of nerves that keeps you up to date on what is going on in your tongue due to the very important jobs your tongue does. If you see no reason for the tingle, contact health care professionals.
